Welcome from Superior Mayor Mila Besich-Lira
W
elcome to the 30th Annual Apache Leap Mining Festival, this annual event celebrates the influences and heritage that mining has in Superior and throughout Arizona. This year, our celebration focusses on the women who work in the industry and those who have supported the industry for generations. We celebrate all of the roles that women take in the mining industry from haul truck drivers, underground miners, engineers, geologists, communications, administration and executives. If you travel back in time, women have always had a role in the mining industry. From those who fed miners, laundered their clothes, women have been serving in the mining industry for generations, and we celebrate and honor their contributions this weekend. Our Superior Chamber of Commerce works hard scheduling entertainment, planning for safety and security. They work hard all year to ensure that everyone who attends has a fun and safe time. Thank you, to the entire chamber leadership team, event committee and membership for hosting this event. Their work

Sydney Hay, Grand Marshal of Apache Leap Mining Festival Parade
T
his year’s theme, “Women in Mining from Pick Axe to Boardroom,” for the 30th Annual Apache Leap Mining Festival has brought great attention to the women who who work in the mining industry. Recognizing this theme called for honoring a woman who has made great contributions to the mining industry. Sydney Hay, will be recognized for her activism and support of the mining industry during the 30th Annual Apache Leap Mining Festival Parade. Sydney was born and raised in a small town in Colorado and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Kansas Newman College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She taught elementary and high school students in Kansas and Arizona. She moved to Arizona in 1979 and in 1982 she became a full-time mom, while running a part time fitness business. She was inspired to get involved with politics and public policy
during the Reagan administration. She became concerned about the cultural decline in America and the continual loss of individual liberties. She became a skilled political organizer and an association management executive. She has been an indefatigable fighter for the citizens of Arizona ever since. She has served for the past eight years as Executive Director of AMIGOS (Arizona Mining and Industry Get Our Support), a trade association of the small to mid-size businesses that supply Arizona's vital copper mining industry. Sydney is the President of her own public affairs and association management firm. A conservative voice for four years on Arizona airwaves, since 1997 Sydney has hosted a daily radio talk show giving her opportunity to both talk to and listen to the people of Arizona, discussing their views on public policy. She has also published a number of opinion pieces/
editorials and has appeared on local and national radio and television programs. A popular public speaker, Sydney has spoken at conferences across the country. She will speak about Women in Mining on Saturday, March 17, at 11:30 a.m. at the Superior Chamber of Commerce, 165 W. Main Street.
